Baldurs Gate 3 early access refund

Jump to Best Response

I, like many others, purchased BG3 early access through Stadia with the expectation that we would be supporting the game during development, but would also ultimately have access to the completed game (the end product).
Now that the Stadia service is being withdrawn, it appears that we will not get to see the finished product unless we want to purchase it again through a difference service.

There is no option for a refund, despite the game never having been made available in its final release.

This is not right.

Hey @Koochulainn,

BG3 was a purchase of a game in the Stadia Store (even though it was early access, it was still a "game") and Google is refunding all those purchases automatically. So on your end you just need to wait, Google mentioned the refunds may take until Jan 2023 though to be processed.

  • Google will offer a full refund of all Stadia hardware purchases (Stadia Controller, Stadia Founder’s Edition, Stadia Premiere Edition, or Play and Watch with Google TV Package) made in the Google Store and all purchases of games and in-game transactions made in the Stadia Store.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for that!
My own fault for not reading all the way to the end.
